Owner’s death prompts $160M treasure return
A rare collection of gold coins known as the "Triffler" has resurfaced after lying buried underground for over 50 years, with an estimated value of more than $160 million. The coins were gathered by an anonymous European individual during the 1930s and were hidden in secretive conditions out of fear of war. Later, his family members discovered them, and the process of appraising and auctioning the collection began internationally. The collection included over 15,000 pieces from more than 100 regions, featuring a variety of rare gold coins. Among them was a 100 ducat coin from Prague, dated 1629, which sold for 1.95 million Swiss francs at an auction in 2025. The official process of subdividing the collection commenced in May 2025 in Zurich, helping to reveal a long-concealed monetary history.
